This was our family spring break trip so overall we enjoyed ourselves. The front desk attendant Chris was great he was very patient explaining things to us and helping us. The hotel was definitely out of the way of the super busy streets but still close enough for us to walk and get scooters so that was nice. The double room we booked was actually already sold out so we ended up getting a free upgrade to a king with a roll out bed. The room was large had a lot of space a little bland but nice. The cleaning could have been a bit better there was a lot of stray hair in the bathroom including the shower. Made me feel a little uneasy.

On Tuesday, 4/15, Jose checked myself, my daughter and my two granddaughters in after a day of travel. He was a pure delight from the moment we approached the desk. He welcomed us personally and professionally with warmth and caring; taking extra time to give us all the information we would need to enjoy the hotel amenities. He escorted us to our beautiful room, explained the lighting and sent for two extra robes for the girls. He gave us a list of recommended restaurants with directions to get there. We were only sorry we could not say goodbye in person. Kudos to all!
